Sense and Sensibility is playwright Kate Hamill's new, energetic and fresh take on Jane Austen’s beloved novel. In this playful and comic adaptation, we follow the fortunes (and misfortunes) of the Dashwood sisters — level-headed Elinor and passionate, impetuous Marianne — after their father’s sudden death leaves them financially destitute and tossed into a world swirling with the social pressures of class, money, and reputation. Set in gossipy late 18th-century England, with a fresh female voice, the play is full of humor, emotional depth, and bold theatricality.
Sense and Sensibility examines our reactions, both reasonable and ridiculous, to societal pressures. When reputation is everything, how do you follow your heart?
